Self-timer
With the self-timer, you can take a photo without holding the device. Use this function
to take self-portraits or group photos with everyone in the photo. You can also use
the self-timer if you want to avoid shaking the camera when taking photos.
10 sec. delay
A photo is taken ten seconds after you press the shutter button or camera key.
3 sec. delay
A photo is taken three seconds after you press the shutter button or camera key.
Off
The photo is taken instantly when you press the shutter button or camera key. There
is no delay.
Soft Skin Effect
You can turn on the Soft Skin Effect on your device to make skin tones slightly
softened while taking selfies in Manual and Superior auto capturing modes.
Object tracking
When you select an object by touching it in the viewfinder, the camera tracks it for
you.
HDR
Use the HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting to take a photo against strong back light
or in conditions where the contrast is sharp. HDR compensates for the loss of detail
and produces a picture that is representative of both dark and bright areas.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
ISO
The ISO sensitivity can be set to adjust automatically, or can be manually adjusted to
sensitivity settings ranging from 100 to 3200.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
Metering
This function automatically determines a well-balanced exposure by measuring the
amount of light striking the subject you want to capture.
Face
Measures the amount of light on your subject's face, and adjusts the exposure so that the face is neither
too dark nor too bright.
Centre
Determines the centre of the image, and sets the exposure based on the brightness of the subject there.
Spot
Adjusts the exposure in a very small part of the subject that you want to capture.
Touch
Adjusts the exposure to the desired part of the subject when you touch the screen.
This setting is only available in Manual capturing mode.
